When it comes to hiring new talent for your team, there are several ways to go. You can hire someone and hope that they fit in well, you can make them feel welcome with personal attention and possibly even a small gift to welcome them to the team, or you can leave the orienting to them and hope for the best. |
When these options are presented, you can bet that most new hires are looking for a warm welcome and hoping for an environment in which they feel comfortable, and while an expensive gift for every new hire is out of the question, something thoughtful as a ‘welcome aboard’ might be just the thing to build a reputation for your company as an attractive place to work, allowing you to find the right new hires and the best talent in the future.
If you are leaning toward the warm welcome by now, then you should consider gathering a cache of small corporate gifts for your new hires. Handing out a gift when they have finished their hire paperwork is a great way to say “welcome to the team” and to truly make them feel like they are already valued members of your company.
Corporate gifts are not just a great inspiration for your new hires, they are also relatively inexpensive, and a great way to generate that kind of instant loyalty to your team without spending a fortune. The gifts can be as simple as a watch or a picture frame, and can be bought in bulk from promotional product companies for a great bargain. They also tend to look nice, making them valued as a gift.
Your new hires will be glad of your generosity and glad to get down to business with your nicely presented welcome gift in hand as soon as they are ready to settle in to the office. Show them to their new desk, thank them for joining your team, invite them to talk with you about any problems, and hand them a gift to welcome them to the office. It is a perfect combination.
